Default Wastegate options

So, my next step is a wastegate. I did some research, but there is a lot of information. It seems that people generally like the Tial wastegates, but you have to do some work to make them fit the car. LR has their dual port wastegate that just bolts on, but it is just a modified oem one, and people seem to like the Tial better.

One, do I have this right?
Two, where do I go to get a Tial wastegate that is ready to be bolted on? (I cannot weld....)
Three, there are about 18 million different Tial wastegates, which do I choose? (I have an 86 951 that is pretty much stock. Looking to do the A-Tune and then M-Tune over the next year or two, but thats about it for now. Maybe an exhaust.)

Thanks!

38mm is the ticket. Get it with adapter plates from a place like speedforceracing.

Picked mine up from Pauertuning.com. Vince knows his shi and offers a great product.

I'm also now looking at synapse wastegates too. Do these need an adapter kit as well? I imagine so, but would the same kit from speedforceracing work?

Also, does anyone have any experience with the synapse wastegates? They seem pretty slick, but everyone has Tial...

Did you guys have any flange fitment or flange loosening problems with the Tials BTW ?

I did and had a friend weld the wastegate bolts to the adapter plates because they kept backing out.

Thanks - I know it happens but I was checking to see if a cure had been added. That is a sure cure.
